I'm still using iCal and vCard for this, by way of simple open source apps on mobile and desktop synced by WebDAV. Even use them for tasks/todos and notes (vjournal).
Always amazes me people are still rolling their own versions of these standards, the problem was solved years ago.
- steve1977 2y agoBut there’s no vendor lock-in with open standards…
- hgyjnbdet 2y agoThere is that.
- nicklecompte 2y agoAm I misunderstanding what "open standard" means? Why don't vCard and iCalendar count?
- steve1977 2y agoI was being sarcastic. vCard and iCal are open standards - and that is probably why there are not used by many. Because many vendors like vendor lock-in.
- nicklecompte 2y agoGot it - thought you were saying vendor lock-in meant the standards were de facto not open (which seemed unfair, the standards are transparent and not unusually difficult to implement).
